They say that subarus should run on 98 min, well that's what it says on my flap., should make your car a bit more nippier considering you've been using 97.
P.s make sure you empty the tank as much as you can prior to filling with 99

Ah, this weekend's Nitro+ v Momentum thread has arrived !

Hi JM, this subject comes up every now and then, as a search will show (you probably picked the shortest of the lot to post on ).

I'm a 'Momentum man' myself.
Currently 135.5 in our local store here in The Valleys (134.x in Oxford).

It's about 7-8p/l less than Nitro+.

Actually that's not correct, they say you can use 95 but may notice a reduction in power.

Competition's a wonderful thing.

One Tesco 8 miles away is 3p/l cheaper than here. They've got a Morrisons on their doorstep.
All we've got is Shell 5 miles down the road.
